Back at it again for Day 2. First up: a conversation between Hartmut Neven and James Manyika about Google's quantum computing efforts. This is one of those topics that always makes me feel dumb—despite (or perhaps because of?) the fact that I have a physics degree.

I'm @ Google I/O in sunny Mountain View today, and I'll be sharing my thoughts here throughout the day. We're just over halfway through the keynote now, and one thing is already pretty obvious—Google isn't coming for Anthropic and OpenAI's shared agentic coding crown anytime soon
